Unfortunately, there is no mention of what happened to the Rangers pet heal. I logged in today, and was missing an icon on my main bar. Got into a mob fight and realized that it was my Heal Pet ability that was gone!

Ranger is coming in a bit higher than intended with the changes, so will likely receive some tweaking down in the coming patches.

That said, a TL;DR version of the changes is as follows
New Ranged Pet.
Rejuvenation is now a passive effect on all finishers
Shadow Fire has a chance to have its cd reset and deal more damage
Mastery reworked to account for the above change

Ranger was doing 91k on a 3 min parse with L65 Cost Reduction Mastery. Will post findings later. I had the 11 MM / 4 NB subsouls, but 12 Assassin / 3 NB may be better. Also heard 8/7 spread was stronger on another thread, but yeah, again, changes may be needed for this OP soul right now lol.

Sorry for being so slow here, don't take my Ranger out every day (too many alts) anyways, this means we no longer have the ability to heal our pet at all other than off finishers?

The ranger spec is disgusting and it should just return the way it was.

The damn rangers running around in pvp doing massive dmg now is insane.
There is no burst, but the high steady dmg done is just insane.

So just please revert it or nerf the damn diffuse to something like 50% in pvp.

Before anyone gets butthurt this is just my opinion.

Ranger was a good spec back in early NT. It just had Pet AI problems and never really took off because MM quickly became FoTM shortly after. Diffuse has always been an OP ability. It isn't a new thing. People said it was OP when they were nerfing TT and JP and they brought it up again when they nerfed those same abilities again. Heck I think they nerfed TT 3x already(once indirectly with absorb changes) and haven't looked at diffuse once.

I remember the people advocating for it to stay OP too. Pet heal + AoE kept the pet alive even through some of the best burst in the game at the time and it basically was a frontline tank for your team not to mention you could resummon the pet instantly.
